Anyone on here restored an MGA?

[Jon Brown]

Always wanted one of these, maybe one day when i have a garage.

Would love to see some restoration pics, here your stories and problems you had when restoring

Not restored as such, but I bought a 1500 that had come back from the USA, 2nd gear syncro was knackered....

So I decided to give it a bit more legs I'd do the 5 speed Ford conversion, which lead me to thinking if I was going to do that I should fit an 1800 with a ported head, which lead me further thinking to fit a 3.9 diff....

I got it all ready to fit, total job was done in a weekend.

Nice simple car to work on.

Lovely thing to potter about in, much more modern feeling to drive than its predecessor a 100M Healey.

Bit short of legs on the motorway.

Very pretty.

This is rather sweet, MGA with an S2000 lump.
